Produktinformationen zu „The Score 2.0-The Epic Journey (2cd) “

When the soundtrack album The Score was released in
2005, Epica proved once and for all that they were more than ‘just another
female fronted rock band’. Their trailblazing debut The Phantom Agony (2003)
and the sophomore album Consign to Oblivion (2005) were both deeply influenced
by classical movie scores and The Score was the logical next step. Epica
frontman Mark Jansen has always had ambitions towards scoring a movie. If there
is one thing about the Joyride movie that has stood the test of time, it’s the
music. The Score fully holds up as a body of work in its own right and consists
of an exciting melting pot of styles. The orchestral bombast on the album
contrasts perfectly with the subdued violins and the ambient-like sounds with
indigenous influences. “Typically Epica”, states Mark Jansen, who was
responsible for the greater part of the music, together with Epica keyboard-
and piano player Coen Janssen and former bass payer Yves Huts. “Only without
the singing, without the guitars, no bass and no drums.” More than a decade
later producer Miro Rodenberg has written additional arrangements, added
keyboard parts, remixed and expanded the material. Like the original version,
The Score 2.0 is a stunning soundtrack that stirs the imagination whilst
succeeding in being an epic trip, even without any accompanying pictures. It's
the nuances that make the difference on The Score 2.0. The already timeless
piece of music sounds refreshed, and listening truly feels like revisiting a
memorable trip. Years later, the place still looks and feels the same, but
while travelling it gradually becomes clear that the landscape is even more
beautiful than you remembered it.
